Koala Voice
Koala Voice is a Slovenian quartet that quickly won over audiences both in Slovenia and across Europe with their carefree energy and explosive indie-punk presence, packed with infectious melodies and gritty guitar riffs. Following their debut Kangaroo’s a Neighbour (2014) and Wolkenfabrik (2017), they released the acoustic digital album Koala Voice: Izštekani in 2018. That was followed by the laid-back Woo Horsie, which delivered the shamelessly catchy pop hit Ker tu je vse tako lepo.
Thanks to their musicality and charisma, they even opened for the legendary Pixies at Križanke in Ljubljana and have since performed at major European festivals like Liverpool Sound City, Tallinn Music Week, Bush Budapest, Pohoda, Monkey Week, Exit, and Inmusic.
After the critically acclaimed album Plata (2021) – featuring Spaghettification, Postapokaliptični svet, and Vukovi, which won the Golden Flute Award for Album of the Year – Koala Voice released their fifth studio album Auf Wiedersehen in 2024. It was previewed with the singles The Bigger The City, Late For The Party, and Tebe Imam Rajši Od Drugih, and officially released in March 2024.
